where do you put the cars then
A parkade?
You put cars into the car bedroom.
That’s the neat part
In your ass.
To some people the question of “where do you put the cars?” is more important than the question “where do we house the people?”
It’s bizarre.
I’m convinced that to many Americans, there’s no difference, and that their mental image of a person includes four wheels. (And that a human without a car is not a person, as in, not deserving of moral comsideration.)
I’m convinced that many people who’ve never lived in the southern USA have absolutely no concept of how viable public transportation doesn’t fucking exist, yet housing is typically 30-40 minutes from where business center locations are.
The image is of a dense urban area though, not some southern bumfuck town
Do people typically live that close to where they work though? All my coworkers live out of town, 30 min to 2 hours away by car.
Never been to Atlanta, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Tampa, or any city in the south huh?
You’re pretty much who my comment was about. My comment wasn’t in response to a picture, it was in response to uninformed people.
There’s a TON of people in the south that cannot escape for financial reasons. They’d much rather not have to drive everywhere. I’m 100% against victim shaming, which is what I took SwingingTheLamp’s comment to be.
Yeah, I have to spend two hours on the bus when it takes half an hour to drive downtown. They have great bus service if you’re within walking distance of the downtown area, but until earlier this year the last bus home left the station at 4p. Now the last bus home leaves at 6p.
I haven’t owned a car in a while, and I cannot even find a job because employers don’t want to work around the useless bus schedule.
Southern US city?
PNW sadly enough. The fuckin neolibs running the area are using public transit to virtue signal how green they are without actually spending the money to make it actually effective. Gotta look good, so there’s multiple 15min bus lines, but it only covers a couple square miles, so nobody wants to pay the $2 when they could just walk.
I almost moved to Seattle a few years ago. I loved Seattle, but I wanted to explore what was outside of Seattle. I could tell pretty quickly that the state of Washington wanted to consolidate it’s tax dollars in Seattle as much as possible to the detriment of the rest of the state that wasn’t Seattle.
And that forces you to treat people without cars as sub-human? No sympathy, or even empathy, for people who have to navigate such a landscape without one?
What does your comment have to do with what I said? I genuinely do not understand what you are trying to correlate here…
Am i supposed to WALK? What is wrong with people?
Downvoted for obvious sarcasm. Classic dotworld
There is a super easy fix for that when using sarcasm in writing but people refuse to use it for some reason and then complain when they get downvoted.
The fix is having a brain on behalf of the reader. Writing is the superior communication method.

We had a similar issue in Boston like 20 years ago. There was all this undeveloped land on the southern edge of downtown from closed down former port and industrial areas. Then the city wanted to redevelop it, but everyone complained about losing thousands of low cost parking spaces.
Now we see it was a good choice with an active newly developed part of the city and a couple additional subway lines. It really is better for most people to commute by train
The only real objection now is how could we have developed a new part of the city without building a subway there. Stupid bus is stupid
Maybe don’t drive in the dense urban downtown.
Commuter? Park at the park and ride in your suburb or something
Outside city parking. Underground. Lots of options
underground garage or compost them and reuse the metal for bicycles, buses, and trains
Seriously! I get that we’re in a severe housing crisis, many people can barely afford rent and the homeless population is ever expanding, but won’t anyone think of the cars?
Anyways, if you can’t afford an apartment, you can always sleep in your car! You can’t drive an apartment, checkmate liberals 😎
In a recycling plant, cities don’t need cars
In a fire.
In a smelter, so they can be recycled into bikes and trains.
Just leave it at home or get rid of it. Buy an e-motorcycle and enjoy saving fuckloads of money long term. Even better take public transport if its available.
Recycle the materials
In a big parking lot next to a train station that brings here here
Stapling them. In a parkade.
